note 125049 added to class.outofrangeexception

I tried to write a snippet that would be detected at compile time, but was unable, apparently due to my PHP engine's interpreted nature. The creator(s) should have provided a usage example (for end-users) or pointed to PHP sources for an example of where/how it's used. None of the provided examples, to date, reflect an exception detected at compile time, as this class asserts. IMO it's hopeful at best to expect a compiler to detect an illegal index in a dynamically-typed, typically JIT-executed, enviro. Since when is there a strict contract of what indexes should be considered "within range" and how would the compiler know about this contract? Also, how would we try/catch that in the compile phase? SPL also provides the OutOfBounds exception. If this class, its parent, and OOB have little distinction, then does SPL need all 3? ---- Server IP: 45.112.84.4 Probable Submitter: 103.51.166.36 (proxied: 73.217.122.241) ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/class.outofrangeexception.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/125049 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/125049/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/125049/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/125049/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/125049/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/125049/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/125049/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/125049 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/125049 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
